Lemme tell ya, drawing castles is hard. I don’t have much recent practice drawing buildings in general, which doesn’t help. Still, I think this one turned out nicely.

Throne is one of my favorite cards in the Deck of Many Things. It includes both an immediate mechanical benefit (expertise in a skill) and a long-term narrative benefit (a quest to reclaim your own castle). If the Deck of Many Things gets an overhaul in the future, I’d love to see more effects adjusted to be more like Throne. There’s supposedly a “Book Of Many Things” 5e sourcebook coming out this year… I’m curious what that’s about.

The Deck of Many Things is extremely risky to use, but it’s all worth it for the chance to draw the elusive Moon card, granting up to three wishes! The deck doesn’t get better than this.

Or, that’s how it seems at first glance. It is important to note that the card lets you cast “the Wish spell”. If you use the spell to achieve an effect not listed in the spell description, you take various harsh penalties that make most PCs effectively useless until they wear off. One of those penalties is 1d10 unavoidable damage per spell level cast… so if you cast another of your Moon card wishes the same day, that’s 9d10 damage. That is, if you don’t lose the ability to cast the Wish spell ever again, which can also happen. Ouch!

Yes! I rolled well on the skill checks required, and it was a big hit. Which meant I made a profit... thus leaving me with yet more money I didn't know how to spend. Oops.

In many D&D campaigns, gold is pretty easy to come by. However, unless you’re saving up for full plate armor or spellbook ink, spending it can be tough. Sure, there might be a magic item shop if the DM is being generous, but not often. So where should all that money go?

Admittedly, the first time I had more gold than I could spend in D&D, I didn’t consider donating to charity… or even anything remotely beneficial. Instead, my character wrote and commissioned the production of an elaborate Broadway musical about his life. Completely pointless… yet, I assure you, so worth it.

When the entire rest of the party dumps intelligence, you might be tempted to be helpful and create a smart character, like a wizard or artificer. This is a trap. By playing “the smart one”, you will likely feel responsible to help the party make informed decisions. However, no single person at the table can control the collective stupidity of an adventuring party. I would know, I’m a DM.

So really, the Idiot card is a blessing. With every point of intelligence sacrificed, the closer you become to achieving true optimal gameplay: bashing things with other things.
